A vulnerability[2] in the pine URL handler was discovered that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands in the user's machine by encapsulating them in a URL using environment variables. This vulnerability only affects users whith the msg-view-url option enabled (which is not the default). It was originally discovered[3] by Jim Hebert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on November 18, 1999, rediscovered by zen-parse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on October 20, 2001 and reannounced to Bugtraq on January 5, 2002. SOLUTION All pine users should upgrade.
